A week after the United States and Japan filed complaints against Argentina at the World Trade Organization, alleging that its import licensing rules are protectionist because they discriminate against foreign goods, the country has filed a complaint against the U.S. over its restrictions on imports of Argentinean beef and meat products.
"Argentina has notified the WTO Secretariat of a request for consultations with the United States on measures applied to the imports of Argentinian meat and other products of animal origin. Argentina claims that the restrictions, applied on sanitary grounds, don't have scientific justification," the WTO said according to a Reuters report.
